Review: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
By Christian DiMartino Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the first Ant-Man movie where I didn’t have fun. Of course the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become known for the intergalactic stuff and usually they sell me on it in separate entries. I’m also usually open to a series trying to take a swing. The mistake…

Feelin’ Spooky: Dark Shadows (2012)
Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows is a guilty pleasure that I’m honestly not that guilty about. The movie was reviled during its theatrical run, and nobody has really spoken of it since, but I’ve always had a soft spot for it. The movie has flaws, for sure, but what I like in it I like quite…

By Christian DiMartino Have many movies, in recent memory, started as much of a ruckus as Darren Aronofsky’s mother!?

Christian’s Christmas: Batman Returns (1992)
By Christian DiMartino The Batman movies have had quite the history. Yes, we eventually got Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, work from the gods. Yet before them, we had four movies that each had an interesting place in cinematic history. To explain: Tim Burton’s Batman was a smash when it released in 1989, surprising the…

First Time Watch: Frankie and Johnny (1991)
By Christian DiMartino Garry Marshall, who died in 2016, made a handful of movies that were enjoyable, and what came in-between was usually awful. For every Pretty Woman or Overboard, there were at least two of The Other Sister. A fraction of The Other Sister, one of the most accidentally offensively awful movies in existence, is too much. Marshall’s Frankie…
